Adoration & Holy Hours

“Personally, I have experienced a need for silent adoration which gives me strength, consolation and support. This Eucharistic Practice is the devotion of the saints."

Pope John Paul IILetter on the Eucharist

“

“Behold the Heart which has so loved men that It has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming Itself, in order to testify Its love;
… I so ardently thirst to be loved in the Most Blessed Sacrament that this thirst devours Me.”

— Jesus to St. Margaret Mary in Adoration

“

“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the sacraments”

St. Alphonsis of Liquori

“For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; 7 for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.” RSV 2 Timothy 1:6

“For I the LORD your God will hold your right hand, saying to you, Fear not; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:8

We ask everyone in our faith community to participate in this very holy ministry by making an act of love through the offering of just one hour a week to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament in our Adoration Chapel. Adoring our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration unleashes God’s grace for our lives, our families & loved ones, our priests, parish, Church, and the whole world.

Standing Guard:Committed Adorers and Substitutes

Please be in chapel no later than start of your committed hour; the preceding Committed Adorer (CA) must stay until you are present.

Check-in on our IPAD as soon as you arrive (directions available in chapel).

It is imperative that Jesus not be left alone; please remain in chapel for full hour and do not leave until the next hour’s Committed Adorer has arrived, even if there are other adorers present in the chapel.

My Hour is over

but next

Committed Adorer

Has Not Arrived

If able, please continue with Adoration until next CA arrives, even if other adorers are present.

If unable to stay, you may ask a present adorer if they are willing & committed to stay until next CA arrives.

Always notify Coordinator if you found Jesus unattended, or if CA’s are absent.

Must Miss Your

Committed Hour?

Please provide a

Substitute.

A Committed Adorer is a commitment to Jesus first; you are a vital part of this ministry. Please faithfully attend and be on time to your Holy Hour. Avoid all unnecessary cancellations; make every attempt to plan other activities & volunteer opportunities around your commitment to Jesus.

If unable to make your Holy Hour, please make every effort to find a reliable substitute. If your substitute is unfamiliar with adoration, please review all necessary guidelines & procedures –stress importance of being on time & signing in as a “Substitute for” so previous CA’s know they may leave. It is best to lineup suitable substitutes and familiarize them with the guidelines before the need arises. Suggestions: spouse, sibling, adult child, parish or ministry friend.

You may put out an automated substitute request through our online system WeAdoreHim. We suggest a minimum of 6 hours notice in using the automated substitute request.

Not able to obtain

a suitable substitute?

NEVER assume that your CA partner(s), no matter how consistent, or “someone”, will be present.

Did you make a substitute request through our online system WeAdoreHim? A minimum of 6 hours notice is required for the automated substitute request.

Always notify the Coordinator if you will miss your Holy Hour & do not have a substitute arranged, even if it’s just prior to the start of your hour (emergency situation, inclement weather, etc); the Coordinator will arrange a substitute for you.

PLEASE NOTE: It is the personal responsibility of each adorer to decide if it is reasonable and safe for them to attend their Holy Hour in consideration of current weather conditions. If the chapel is remaining open during challenging weather conditions (low temps, snow, ice) and you feel it is unsafe to attend your Holy Hour under these conditions, please contact the Coordinator directly as soon as possible.
